Smoke & Mirrors - Topshop AW11 Make up

Image taken from from Topshop.com

I was browsing Topshop online yesterday when I saw the new AW11 - 'Smoke & Mirrors' Make up collection which is inspired by the high glamour of the early 70's.

Eeeek I am SO excited for Autumn Winter, they are my Favouite months by far!

I went straight into my local Topshop with the intention to get 'Pillow Talk' which is a lovley baby pink lipstick and 'Prim & Proper' which is a dusty pink nail varnish. Unfortunately they didnt have any of the nail varnishes in yet however I tested out most of the other products in the collection.

Lipsticks - 'Pillow talk' - a lovely sheer baby pink however I was really unsure how this would go with my olive skintone so I decided to get 'Rumour has it' Which is a beautiful Dusty Rose colour.

Bronzer - 'Burning Embers' - I think I might have to revist Topshop tomorrow to get this, the blush is a gorgeous apricot color and the terracotta bronzer is quite nice too! I just wish there was more of the blush on there!!

Glow - 'Polished' - Now this was the least of my favourites when I looked online however as soon as I swatched this colour I wanted it straight away! It is a lovley pearly, kind of rosey gold colour. I seriously recommend to go and swatch this colour in real life as the pics don't do it justice. It is quite a small pot for £9 however I am so in love with this colour I know I will repurchase!!!

Eye Pallette in 'Secret Liaisons' - This again had such good colours, I swatched all the colours, the only reason I wouldnt get this is I know I wouldnt wear the darker colours.

Overall I am really impressed with Topshops 'Smoke & Mirrors' collection, I absolutely Love the packaging and the colors are so pretty, well pigmented and good quality. I definately want to get 'Prim & Proper' Nailvarnish and maybe the Bronzer duo aswell.

Has anyone else checked this out yet?

5 Minute Cooking: Croissant Sandwich

I'm obsessed with making croissant sandwiches! They're great for a quick breakfast in the morning, yummy, and so easy (and fast) to make!
To make 2 croissant sandwiches:
You'll need:
- 2 croissants
- 3 eggs
- 2 slices of cheese
- milk
- butter

Steps:
1. Set a small non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Put some butter on the pan and spread it all around as it melts.
2. Crack, then beat the eggs in a small bowl with a whisk or fork, adding in a splash of milk.
3. Add the mixture to the pan, and turn the heat down a little. After a few seconds, begin stirring until the eggs are fully scrambled and not runny.

4. Collect the scrambled eggs in the center and then divide them in half.

5. Take a knife and cut the croissants in half (or you can do it hot dog style as seen here).
5. Transfer each half of the scrambled eggs into a croissant, then put two halves of a single slice of cheese on top.
6. Feel free to add some turkey, ham, or whatever else to your sandwich.
7. Enjoy!
